Hey Guys,
Just got all the stuff to make a killer IPA over the weekend. The wife's birthday is on Sunday and she's been DYING to have a Pumpkin beer this fall. I'm not a huge fan, but since it's her birthday weekend, I'm thinking of doing it to be a nice guy (and to get her off my back).
The original recipe breakdown goes like this:
8# 2-row
3# Munich Dark
1/2# Crystal
1 oz NB - 60
2 oz Williamette - 30
1 oz Cascade - 10
1 oz Cascade - Dry Hopped
CA Ale WLP001
I'm thinking of just throwing a few # of pumpkin puree in the mash and some spices (cinnamon, all spice, basically whatever you would put in a Pumpkin Pie) in the last 5-10 minutes of the boil.
What do you think? Recipe for disaster? I know the IPA will be good on it's own, because I've made it a few times, so I'm torn on doing this...
